Good morning you fine and beautiful people. Today it's an extremely important double header.

The Union have put sporting director Ernst Tanner on "adminstrative leave" while MLS reopens an investigation into his alleged misconduct.
"MLS has advised the Union that it will be reopening the investigation and the Union continues to cooperate fully," the team says in a statement.

A report in England's Guardian newspaper cites allegations from the MLS Players Association and other sources. Tanner's lawyer has denied the claims, but MLS has sanctioned Tanner twice.

Pablo has done some stellar work here. I hated reading every bit of it- because any sane, rational person should hate what Tanner is alleged to have said/done- but it's important to read. This kind of behavior has no place in the game #DOOP
NEW: Ernst Tanner has built a powerhouse at the Philadelphia Union.
But my @us.theguardian.com investigation has shown wide-ranging allegations of misbehavior throughout his 7-year tenure.
Tanner denies the allegations, and was investigated by MLS this year.

Love to see Kyra Cooney-Cross finally getting a start for Arsenal. Still a little surprising how little rotation there's been over the past several games? Big chance to rebound and show out in the North London Derby
